Despite its premium quality, local markets were saturated, leading to low prices ranging between <strong>Rs 120 and Rs 160 per kg. <\/strong>However, this export initiative has elevated the status of the fruit, now fetching a price of <strong>Rs 250 to Rs 260 per kg <\/strong>in the international market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c6fe275c789b684e00467e2682ae30fa\">Honourable Deputy Chief Minister Shri K V Singh Deo expressed his excitement over the achievement, highlighting the health benefits of organic dragon fruits, particularly for cancer patients, and their role in managing blood pressure and sugar levels.

Since May 2024, Palladium has facilitated exports from various districts of Odisha to seven countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-30e027b2abf3bf813623d3672efeb324\">Mr. Behera highlighted that the export of organic dragon fruits has led to a 100% increase in price value in the international market.
